Ryan has sent in some more details on the Hallmark Ecto-1 ornament, as Hallmark collectors start getting their copies of the Hallmark Dream Book in the mail. The car will retail for $18.50US and will be released July 11th during Hallmark’s Ornament Premiere. While Hallmark collectors will get first dibs, regular Ghostheads should be able to find it at their local Hallmark store. And it’s not simply an ornament – the wheels turn!
While not the first Ghostbusters-themed tour of New York (nor second even), this newly posted entry is a nice addition to the growing collection.
Remember that internal Apple sales video, that spoofed the Ghostbusters music video? Well, that one was cut down by nearly two minutes, which we know now because the full version has popped up! The video now includes an appearance by Steve Jobs (in full Blue Buster gear) and concludes with [...]

It was pretty much a given, once Mattel announced that they were canceling Club Ecto, the subscription based service that provided fans with first crack at unique figures, but Scott “ToyGuru” Neitlich, Mattel’s brand manager in charge of the license, confirmed a lot more details today, outlining exactly why the [...]
Robin “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” Leach interviewed Dan Aykroyd about some new happenings at the House of Blues in Las Vegas, but still took a moment – his opening question in fact – to ask about Ghostbusters 3. Dan’s answer is basically “maybe yes, maybe no” with a [...]
A few people have suggested it should read “Back off, Man. I’m a scientist.” as the motto, but still, an awesome crest from Bensanity. [VIA Ghostbusters.org]
Ghosthead and IGN writer, Greg Miller, filed a story today that Sony will be releasing some Ghostbusters DLC into their unique, but not quite set-the-world-on-fire, fighting game on the PS Vita; Reality Fighters. In short, you take a picture of your face, place it on a character, design the character [...]

Oh I cant wait to get my hands on this sucker
I cant also wait to get the keychain
You can put me down for two, no sweat!
i hate when these ecto’s come out and aren’t exactly correct. the gadgets on top aren’t the exact same as the movies. and other little things. for 18 bucks can i get a little more plastic to finish out the top?
Holy cow, s’beautiful.
wow the wheels turn well let me jerk off right now! NOTTTTTTT
Dude, the wheels turning aren’t really that big of a deal – that’s why it’s a toss off in the post. But at the same time, it’s important to some people. A die-cast dinky-car ornament that has working wheels is, however slightly, more impressive than one where they don’t. Particularly if they’re thinking about shelling out twenty bucks.
So, got anything relevant to add, or you just going to gum up the comments like normal?
Yeah, the wheels turning comment by Castewar is most likely sarcasm. No complaints from me, not even about the roof rack. Looks awesome.
*My only complaint about the roof rack is the lack of the “ecto antennae” [the thing that everybody and their dog mistakes as a "proton blaster"], though I’m guessing that was so there would be a spot for the ornament hoop to fit through…
*Otherwise I’m digg’n it ;P…
*Cheers.
*P.s. – Caste – Any word on the scale?
I believe it’s “Magic”….lol
Who gives a flying fleep if its not 100% accurate? Hell I have photocopies of the offical blueprints to 1/1a and there not 100% accurate. I’m just happy cause Im a BIG ecto fan and I cant wait to get this sucker.
I bet you its 1/64 scale
July 11th I will be at my Hallmark store when the display there Christmas Ornaments and I will buy the Ecto-1 Ornament. I can’t wait to get this. It will be very Awesome to own. The wheels even movie that’s cool to.
